Ok, so i just bought a set of clear heads and corners for my early 97 F-150.

those are them. the problem is that they don't fit into the "bucket" (i think thats what its called). I think i MIGHT be able to make the headlights fit by persuading the bucket with a grinder, but the corners wont fit at all. It has different wholes. Any ideas?

 

aftermarket parts never fit as good as Oem parts. Thats bottom line. If they didnt offer any tips, or instructions with the kit, to show you how to get them to fit. I say call them up and tell them you have the wrong brackets on the lights. Get your money back, and buy some real lights. Like the Lightning or Harley ones.

What you bought is a one piece replacement for a two piece original set-up. You have an APC all in one light assembly that is supposed to replace heads and corners.
I know how much of a pain my factory corners and heads were to replace w/ the Zenarcs and APC retro black corners (rare and totally cool IMO). One piece'ers? No thank you, but good luck.

snappylips... they're 2 pieces. i'm not a huge fan of one piecers either.

I guess it looks like i'll be cutting away at the bucket then.

 

thats right, notihng fits as OEM does, but custom lights are cool and all, OEM will last longer though
